I have found Intermatic timers (Spring Grove,Il, my hometown
north of Chicago) has excellent silent electronic timers.
HDepot and Lowes sell..at times various models...I purchased
6 for my mountain house and they have worked well now for
3 years...But Intermatic can be "schiz-o" for lack of
better word..a couple of their non-electronic timers
with the wheel and little pegs had very high failure
rate...carried over to their early electronic products
but seemed to settle down last few years...so in final
answer I give their times an 8.5 out of 10.0 rating...
The timers with battery backup seem to be able to keep
the custom programming you can do for 4-5 days power
outages...these have 8 choices of on/off times and
two ac outlets...
